Kidney Care services in New Jersey

Kidney and bladder conditions are common medical issues in the United States.
The kidneys perform various functions for the body, and there are several
conditions that can interfere with these organs and cause complications.

What do the kidneys do?

Your kidneys are responsible for sorting waste products and balancing chemicals
in the body. Every day, quarts of blood are filtered in the kidneys to
remove urine and transfer it to the bladder. Chemicals and nutrients your
body needs, such as sodium and potassium, and kept in the blood and balanced
by the kidneys to keep the body functioning at optimal efficiency.

Kidneys require pressure to do their job, and it is partially responsible
for regulating blood pressure. The kidney can send signals to the body
to increase or lower blood pressure as needed. Kidneys are also responsible
for the production of erythropoietin, a protein that creates red blood cells.
